Why not help support this website and the businesses advertising here. Click on "Airport Transfer" on the homepage, you'll get a competetive price and excellent service. No, I don't get commissions :wink: , but my friend used them and was very satisfied.

We had friends who used Yellow Fish, door to door private transfer for 65 euros each way.

But if it's going to cost you €135 for transfers plus whaterver for taxis, then it might not be so bad. Just a thought.

Resorthoppa or lowcosttravelextras (both use same taxi company, but latter is slightly cheaper) and currently offering discount of 10% using RHOLYMPICS voucher code - usually about £8-10 pp each way - BUT - they will drop you wherever you want coming into CVO area but will only pick up for return from a hotel or apartment block. (unless you have a private transfer which is more expensive).

You can also get a further 8-10% using casback sites like Quidco as well

Usually takes ~1hr depending on stops en route - we usually find we are one of the first as they drop off at Salgados, then CVO, then onto Portomao, Alvor etc.

My daughter and her gang of 7 tend to use Yellowfish private and can get good deals sometimes, but they are more expensive than Resorthoppa
